6—19 October 2014 6—19 OCTOBER 2014 Principal Sponsor WElcomE Stories. Myths. Fables. Re-imaginings. Wild landscapes. Hidden histories. Epic adventures. Strange revelations. Imaginative writing has always been at the heart of Manchester Literature Festival and we have a wealth of wonderful writers, poets and wordsmiths lined up for you this year. Sarah Waters, Michel Faber and David Mitchell enchant us with their long-awaited new novels. Sebastian Barry, Colm Tóibín, Margaret Drabble, Esther Freud, Martin Amis, Will Self and Howard Jacobson give us an insight into their masterful stories. Actor Sheila Hancock discusses her generation-spanning debut novel whilst Ben Watt talks about his excellent new memoir. Peter Blake, Godfather of Pop Art, pays homage to Dylan Thomas’ Under Milk Wood, and we explore the legacy of literary icons from Edgar Allan Poe and Anton Chekhov to John Updike, Ernest Hemingway and William S. Burroughs. Daljit Nagra and Patience Agbabi reinterpret The Ramayana and Canterbury Tales for a modern, multi-cultural audience and Kate Tempest performs some of her brilliant, multi-voiced poems. Pascale Petit, Andres Neuman, Roma Tearne, Hong Ying and Arne Dahl take us on journeys around the world whilst Simon Garfield and Shaun Usher remind us of the magic of letters. Audrey Niffenegger gives our fifth Manchester Sermon and Jackie Kay collaborates with jazz musician Adam Fairhall on a tribute to blues legend Bessie Smith. We’re also thrilled to showcase new commissions from Olivia Laing, Kamila Shamsie and Manchester Camerata with Bill Ryder-Jones. If you love imaginative writing as much as we do, we hope you’ll consider joining our new Get Closer Membership scheme (see Page 63). Listen to the stories. Enjoy the Festival.

Taking place throughout Greater Manchester, these activities use stories as an inspiration to engage young people as the readers and writers of the future. Current projects include: Read It, Watch It, Talk About It A weekly film/book club based at The Factory Youth Zone in Harpurhey. A fun and informal opportunity for young people aged 8 to 12 to get together, watch films, and talk about the stories that inspired them. Funding for this project has been provided by the Clore Duffield Foundation through its Clore Poetry and Literature Awards. Writing Squad We are delighted to be working with the Writing Squad to support emerging young writers from the North West region to develop their craft. Our squad offers ten writers aged 16 - 21 the chance to work with each other and with professional tutors for two years. Alongside this they are also offered on-going support to help make their way in the literature industry. Examples of their work can be found at writingsquad.com/push. Story Explorers Motivated by the power of reading for pleasure to improve literacy levels, we now run three Story Explorers groups in primary schools in Bowker Vale, Monsall and Moss Side. These sessions take place once a month, encouraging participants to dip into books and stories they are not familiar with, as well as sharing the ones that they already love. This project is Lottery funded through the Big Lottery Fund. 5 At a glance Main Event Tales from the Towpath: a textural treasure Martin Amis & Nick Laird hunt - Story Trail Sunday 12th October, 6.30pm Monday 6th – Sunday 19th October Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama Sebastian Barry & Colm Tóibín Suzannah Dunn & Maria McCann Monday 6th October, 6.30pm Monday 13th October, 6.30pm Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama Baronial Hall, Chetham’s School of Music Graphic Novels: Stephen Collins & Nick Hayes Cynan Jones & Evie Wyld Tuesday 7th October, 7pm Monday 13th October, 6pm International Anthony Burgess Foundation International Anthony Burgess Foundation Simon Armitage Michel Faber Tuesday 7th October, 7.30pm Monday 13th October, 8pm Manchester Cathedral International Anthony Burgess Foundation Pascale Petit Daljit Nagra: The Retold Ramayana Wednesday 8th October, 7pm Tuesday 14th October, 7.30pm Manchester Museum Contact Alison Erika Forde & David Gaffney A.L.

  • Taking Intellectual Property Into Their Own Hands
    Taking Intellectual Property into Their Own Hands Amy Adler* & Jeanne C. Fromer** When we think about people seeking relief for infringement of their intellectual property rights under copyright and trademark laws, we typically assume they will operate within an overtly legal scheme. By contrast, creators of works that lie outside the subject matter, or at least outside the heartland, of intellectual property law often remedy copying of their works by asserting extralegal norms within their own tight-knit communities. In recent years, however, there has been a growing third category of relief-seekers: those taking intellectual property into their own hands, seeking relief outside the legal system for copying of works that fall well within the heartland of copyright or trademark laws, such as visual art, music, and fashion. They exercise intellectual property self-help in a constellation of ways. Most frequently, they use shaming, principally through social media or a similar platform, to call out perceived misappropriations. Other times, they reappropriate perceived misappropriations, therein generating new creative works. This Article identifies, illustrates, and analyzes this phenomenon using a diverse array of recent examples. Aggrieved creators can use self-help of the sorts we describe to accomplish much of what they hope to derive from successful infringement litigation: collect monetary damages, stop the appropriation, insist on attribution of their work, and correct potential misattributions of a misappropriation. We evaluate the benefits and demerits of intellectual property self-help as compared with more traditional intellectual property enforcement.

Peach must patch herself up alone so she can go to college and see her boyfriend, Green.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Criminal: journalistic rigour, gothic tales and philosophical heft Abstract Like many of the shows in PRX’s Radiotopia catalogue of podcasts, Criminal’s sensibility and sound partake of the US public radio formula made famous by This American Life: journalistic rigour and gothic yarns. The show tells “stories of people who’ve done wrong, been wronged, or got caught somewhere in the middle”. But it’s moved beyond mere crime journalism to something that aspires to a bit more philosophical heft. osM t of the stories unspool through the elegant co-narration between host Phoebe Judge and each episode’s central protagonist. The effect is almost always seamless, thanks to the expert mixing of Rob Byers, and the painstaking interviewing and editing process necessary to produce a coherent and tonally appropriate narrative. While we get the who-what-where details upfront, the when is not as clear, a key distinction between the daily crime beat of a journalist and the story-first imperative of non-fiction narrative podcasting.

Since then, the fi ve composers featured on this album have helped to make the fellowship what it is today: a scheme widely admired for the way it supports new music and new dance, and facilitates connections between artists in different fi elds. Mini-residencies and associated projects have also proliferated under Rambert’s fellowship umbrella. Dozens of brilliant ideas have been brought in through the doors of our studios, collided with the people there, and allowed to bubble away. Some of the results have disappeared into the ether, some have had short lives in studio performances, others have been immortalised in established dance works or musical scores and recordings.
